Partners in Education

Financial Information

There are two phases of participation in the Partners in Education program, and the financial responsibilities for Partnership Teams change as they move from one phase to the next. Throughout a team's participation, the costs involved in the programming of events in the team's home community are the responsibility of that team. However, partial reimbursement of workshop leader fees for Kennedy Center workshops and courses are available on a limited basis.

Phase I

The initial commitment of team’s participation consists of the first 22 months of participation in the Partners in Education program, from the time a team attends the Institute through the team's second Annual Meeting. After this time, a Partnership Team may choose to move on to Phase II.

round-trip airfare to the Institute and the first two Annual Meetings

all meals at the Institute

the majority of meals at Annual Meetings
